Monaghan, Annabel. A Girl Named Digit.

Farrah “Digit” Higgins is a female math
genius and the daughter of a UCLA math professor and an actress. Her only goal in life
is to avoid being outed as a math geek. Her
ability allows her to find patterns in things that other people can’t see. Her gift gains her the nickname "Digit". However, her ability to
interpret numbers in a unique way makes her different from
everyone around her. However, this changes when she meets the Fab Four
(Veronica - varsity tennis, Kat-varsity tennis, Olive-varsity
tennis and biology club, and Tish-varsity tennis)in ninth grade. They have been
friends ever since.

The Fab Four hangs out every Tuesday
night. One night Digit sees some random numbers scroll across the bottom of the teen drama on television. This scrolling of numbers occurs for the next two weeks, with different numbers each time. Digit’s mind has almost worked out
the meaning of the numbers before the terrorist attack happens. When it
does, her father takes her to the FBI and Homeland Security to
report what she knows.

This is where she meets the hot FBI
agent and gets kidnapped. From
this point on, readers will be on edge
of their seats as Digit and a team of agents track the terrorists.

Information on TriState Reviews

The Tri State Young Adult Review Committee has been in existence for more than 40 years. It has evolved over the decades into an organization comprised of dedicated professionals interested in evaluating new resources and sharing these findings with other professionals in the field. The committee is a fluid group that represents public schools, public libraries, and private schools in the Tri-State area of PA, DE, and NJ.

Just a few words....

Classroom teachers and librarians will want to check out this blog to read about some books and media that our group receives throughout the year. As chairperson, I will be sharing tips, tools, and cool reads that are of interest currently. Tristatereviews prepares a Books of Note yearly. That list is extensive but not correlated to this blog. Please leave your comments about these books for others to read. Then check out our sister site (BookPushinTechie.blogspot.com) that covers technology in education.Linda McNeil, chairpersonBookPushinTechie@gmail.com
